Introduction

All processes in this world, whether they include live things or not, require energy. Energy can be generated by living things or obtained through predation. They require this power to keep their cells and tissues healthy. It is also necessary to support the body's voluntary and involuntary functions as well as other complex bodily functions like cell division, digestion, circulation, excretion, and many more. The transfer of energy involves a variety of special interactions and connections. Once created and captured, the energy is divided throughout the different living things. The term "food web" refers to this exchange of energy.
